Cooper

[Dollydaydream99]

I really love this name & would without doubt pick it for my dc BUT im petrified about the raised eyebrows that may occur when we announce the name as when I've mentioned it in passing in the past a few people have thought it was bizarre... Please tell me what would YOU think if a member of your family announced the name Cooper for their new baby?

I prefer it to wilfred too though

Mini Cooper - not keen!

Snap Friday!

Don't like it, don't particularly like surnames as first names anyway but just don't like the sound of it.

My first thought was Tommy Cooper but clearly that won't be an issue in the playground in 2019. I actually like it. Sounds like a confident sort of name ( if that makes sense)

Thanks for sell the feedback guys! Incidentally does anybody have a Cooper of their own on here - would love to hear about the comments you get in RL?

The Cooper I know of has never had any negative feedback (they would have said). You will always get a name that people both like and dislike (although my DS's name is definitely way more disliked than liked on here but we still love it)

I don't know any Coopers in real life but of course I wouldn't give negative feedback if anyone said that is what they had named their child. Or wouldn't even say I didn't like it if they said they were considering it. Unless it was a very close family member then I might. But on MN at least you get what people really think not like real life!

I like it - I suggested it on another thread where someone was considering a surname-type name that I didn't like as much.

I know small boys called Harrison, Jackson and Carter, cooper is easily as nice as those.

As far as connections, there was a Dr in Private Practice (Greys Anatomy spin off) called Cooper, but he was lovely!
